RusSlA'S SPLENDID MILITARY SHOW.

How Major of Our Regular Army
Got to See the Big Show.
Maj. Upharl, of our regular army, who
had been sent by cur government to France
to observe the Improvement in tactics, re-
solved TO 50 UP to st. Petersburg. When he
got there he founl that splendid rcview, to
occupy ten days, with sham battles, was
about TO taLe place i'll the environs OF St.
Petersburg. He hal left his uniform and
sword IN Paris, and to send for them would
have required that they pass across several
nations and he stopped at ell their custom
houses. So he applied to the secretary OF
legation, who was q Philadelphian and q very
decent fellow, but slightly under tho Euro
pc<ln morale, to so and see this review. lie
was told that that was country OF etiquette
a:ld that he hi ght as well abandon the iica
of seeing the review. 4 note was written
to make that request in bis behalf, aud the
answer was that he must appear il uniform
and sword. l made that request for linn, in
fact, Of the legation, az was my duty, being
i'll the consular service.
After it was refused I said to him: Now,
I have obcyed the regulations Of my Office,
and viii get you permission on my own ac-
count to go out there" | told him to say
nothing to anybody else I wrole to the gen
eral commanding the camp. Word came
back ut once that at the railroad station
Maj Upham would find his ticket / went
out there with Linn and was taken up to the
room Of the general. He was q rude, gray
old man, who sat there with his vest off and
not very considerate about the cleanliness Of
his shirt. He said: Good morning, general
Nhcrc is your friendg' I introduced Maj

which was about the 1st of February, and
continued its use until the latter part OF
April. The offensive discharge decreased
at once and the hardness around the cancer
disappeared 1t improved my general health
and [ rapidly gained flesh and strength.
The discharge gradually decreased and the
cancer became less and less in size until
nothing remains except Il scar to tell the
tale Of a once dangerous cancer. All who

The HEALTH OF THE CH1LDREN.-The

The HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN.-The
season is at hand when the mortality
among children is topic of remark, but
when that season comes remarks are of lit
lie use. The mischief is often done long be-
fore the effect appears. Parents say, when
advised to give their children plain and sim.
pie food, and to deny them stimulating
drinks like tea and coffee: "Oh, nothing
hurts nv children T; 1 let them have what
over is on the table," In the cool months
this may seem to be the case. Boys stuii
themselves with indigestible food day after
day without showing any signs of being in
jured, and then in the dog days suddenly
collapse without any special cause. 1t is
with the children as it is with US, their
elders the punishment of their errors is Of
ten long delayed. They weaken their di-
gestion in the winter and die oft in August.
rha time to regulate the diet of the young
is all the time. Physicians who practice in
populous parts of cities have often remark.
ed that the mortality is greatest lust when
most precautions are taken, and when the
children themselves are afraid to eat i'm.
proper things. They have been wrongly fed
for eleven months; their digestive apparatus
has been daily over wrought it's reserve OF
force is all expended. Then comes long
hot term, and we are appalled, by tho news
OF hundreds of deaths day among the
children of few wards.-Ne'0 York Ledger.

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper ia;
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY.sEvEN YEARS Gifts existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
| Of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history ofwhat is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while ia the
counting room and workshop it has become
Invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for Of
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is SO close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as we'll az
from every part of the habitable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE n great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
II and near the city, and this feature will,
as over, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
mond and every section of theState, is pub
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are 10 lie found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas
ing. That this is selfevident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi-
